(People say their necks aren't strong enough to support a helmet at that age?)<br /> What is the difference between a £100 trailer and a £500 trailer? We could afford the latter, if it's worth the difference. But don't want to just spend money on a brand. What are the key things to look for? My only experience of a trailer so far has been a Center Parcs hire thing and hire bike - seemed heavy and hard to get up hills, but not sure how much of that was the rubbish bike,<br /> Safety and convenience- is a trailer safe for reasonable Edinburgh use? Near misses? Respect from other road users? I will mainly be commuting on the NEPN (from Jan) and also think a trailer might be snugger than a rear seat. </p>
